Saturday
Students of the Clackamas county
schools will have a chance to get
wan with their teachers next Satur
day at Gladstone park, for one of the
, features of the annual field day of
the Clackamas County School league
"will he a baseball game between the
pupils and the professors. There are
many old scores to be settled at this
game, and while the teachers are not
saying much, they are approaching
the ordeal with fear and trembling.
As for the ' boys, they are all
smiles. Most of them are pretty
good ball players, and they have been
"practicing steadily in school and in
terclass games. They regard the
teachers as being "soft" in the mat
ter of physique, and expect to gain
victory over them. However, there
will be other things in the game be
sides the strictly competitive strug
gle, and it is said that quite- a num
ber of "dead balls" will be delivered
with lightning speed when some un
fortunate teacher who has been se
vere with the lads during the school
year enters the batter's box to face
the delivery.
The game promises to yield a lot of
fun for the spectators, as well, and
will be staged at three in the after
noon. There is some doubt as yet as
to whom the umpire will be. The
teachers are said to want County
School Superintendent T. J. -Gary, but
Mr. Gary is a bit bashful about ac
cepting the job, fearing that his
knowledge of the national game is
not sufficient.- The boys, on the oth
er hand, seem to think that one of
their own number ought to be arbiter,
so asto prevent anybias in favor of
the instructors.
The field day will commence at
half-past ten in the morning, and will
be brim-full of features from then un
til sunset. Aside from the set ath
letic events "there will be a number
of lesser features, arranged for both
school children and the "grown-ups"
who are expected to be on hand; and
there will also be a baseball game be
tween the tams from Gladstone and
Oak Grove schools. The girls of
both teams have been practicing hard
for the past month or more, and have
developed a remarkable amount of
speed and skill.

AINSBERRY, TWICE OUT OF JAIL,
REARRESTED FOR PRISON BREAK

" "Non-Union Lineman
Who Shot Striker
G-aorge Myer, Sometimes knwon
as George Maherl -a member of the
electrical workers' union, and an em
ployee of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company, was arrested Wed
nesday afternoon charged with cut
ting message wires in Oregon City.
After arraignment before Justice
Sievers the man was bound over to
the grand jury in $500 bail, which
was furnished in cash.
The arrest of Mteyer is an after
math of the riot at Oswego, earlier
in the week, in which a dozen strik
ing lineman attacked men employed
by the Home Telephone company;
and in which one of the, strikers,
Fred Ream, of Willamette, was shot
in the groin by J. C. Ainsberry.. When
Ainsberry was arrested and brought
'nto justice court for preliminary
hearing, it was Meyer who recogniz
ed him. as a former, convict at San
Quentin penitentiary, and who in
formed Sheriff Miass and others that
Ainsberry had broken his parole.
Asked how he knew that Ainsberry
was the man who ha-d been in prison
under the name of Bert Lawson,
Meyer first said thai he recognized
him from circulars sent out by the
California authorities, but later ad
mitted that he had served time at the
sam-a penitentiary. At the prelimin
ary hearing Meyer asked that his
record' be not made public, as he was
"trying to live down the past."
Meyer is a wire inspector for the
Portland Railway, Light & Powsr
company, and carries passes upon all
of i.Ls divisions. He was arrested in
Portland at the instigation of Home
Telephone company officials, and was
brought to Oregon City for arraign
ment by Constable Jack Frost. Cash
bail for "the man's release was also
brought" from. Portland. .

DETECTIVE WILLIAM J. BURNS
IN MOTION PICTURES
Three Thousand Feet of Intense
Dramatic Interest
J. C. Ainsberry, out on $1,000 cash
hail pending his trial for assaulting
Fred Ream of Willamette with a
dangerous weapon during a strike
riot at Oswego, was. arrested in Port
land Wednesday night by Deputy
Sheriff Frank Curtiss and Archie
Leonard, assistant chief special agent
of the O.-W. R. & N. company. The
new charge . against Ainsberry is
breaking from the Wyoming" state
penitentiary at Rawlins, Wyoming, af
ter having served but 45 days out of
a three-year sentence.
Ainsberry's third arrest this week
the first being for assault, and the
second for breaking his parole at San
Juentin penitentiary, California
sheds much further light - upon the
young man's career. Acording to
Portland officers who 'made the ar
rest, and according to admissions by
the prisoner, Ainsberry is known un
der the aliases of "Bert Lawson,"
"W. -W. Warren" and "Clarence
Armsberry," and mroke from the
Wyoming penitentiary on August 31,
1912, in company with Russel H. Har
ris and Terrell Pope.
Following his violation of his par
ole at San Quentin, Ainsberry went
to Cheyenne, where he was implicat
ed in a series of box-car robberies in
the railroad yards. For this he was
arrested and tried, and sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary. Forty
five days after his incarceration he,
with two other prisoners, filed the
bars of their , cell and escaped, going
to Hunington, Oregon. From there
they went to Baker City, then to The
Dalles, and then to Portland.
In Portland Detectives Coleman
and Snow arrested Harris, one of tha
trio, and thereupon the other two left
town. Ainsberry went back to The
Dalles, whee he married a ' young
woman of that place in January of
this year. They seubsequently moved
to Lents, where Ainsberry was first
arested in the present tangl-e of cap
tures and releases.
When arrested at his home again
Wednesday night, and while en route
to the count jail in Portland, Ainsber
ry made two attempts to commit sui
cide. On the Mt: Scott car, coming
in with the officers, he chewed up
and swallowed two plugs of tobacpo.
This made him sick, instead of un
conscious as he had probably expect
ed, and while leaning from the car

to relieve te inner man, the prisoner
twice attempted to leap off and end
his life under the wheels of the fol
lowing car. It was only by great
effort that the two officers restrained
him. "
When "lined up" for his pedigree
at tha county jail, Ainsberry voluntar
ily admitted that he had done time
in the Nevada state penitentiary as
well, and also admitted that he had
escaped from the Wyoming prison,
and that he had broken his parole at
San Quentin. He is being held now
for return to the . Wyoming institu
tion. Ainsberry gained his last freedom
through a writ of habeas corpus, dis
charging him from custody on the
charge of breaking his parole from
San Quentin. He was free on the as
sault charge on $1,000 cash bail de
posited by the Home Telephone com
pany, officers of which expressed
great confidence in him and his ef
forts to live an honest life.
COUNCIL CLOSES
2 MORE SALOONS
Oregon City has nine saloon's left.
The city council, in session Wednes
day night, revoked the licenses of
Ed. Rechner and Davis & Lovin, fol
lowing their being found guilty in
Recorder Stipp's court of selling
liquor to an intoxicated person.
These revocations, coming within
a few weeks of the refusal to renew
licenses of two other, saloons where
violations of the law were shown,
created considerable' excitement at
the council session; and "the possi
bility that such action would be taken
brought out one of the largest crowds
that has over attended a council
meeting. Every inch of space in the
council chamber was occupied, and
spectators stood ranked five deep in
the hallway and on the stairs. '
v -The revocation of ' Reckner's - li
cense was voted with but Council
man Albright dissenting; while, the
vote of the council was unanimous in
the case of Davis & Lovin. The ac
tion of the city fathers was. taken af
ter a warm discussion of the matter,
in which attorneys for the . saloon
men pleaded urgently for a d3lay in
the matter until the next meeting of
t:.e councij. JThe discussion waxed
particularly warm when a number of
ministers of local churches obtained
